4-3 Buffalo.

Robin Lehner scores 2 goals.

Jack Eichel will fight someone.

Evander Kane wins the Lady Byng.

Did you catch Rob Ray's comment after Eichel took the roughing penalty a while back?

"There goes the Lady Bing"

That was some solid wit from Rayzor

He ditched his new Brian pads in favor of his Vaughn's from last year. Maybe it'll help?

Went from Kohos to Bauers in 2008??? Was back to Kohos within a week, was sliding around everywhere and they just felt sloppy in comparison. It's like the favorite pair of gloves for you puck chasers...they may not be the best, but you play the best with them.

Those Brians have a similar texture as the new CCM E Flex 3's with speed skin.

Bigger goalies like him either love it or hate it. He hates it.

Back to the Vaughns.

Yeah, you know the weaknesses of the equipment and you can compensate. Then you change equipment and you have to learn it all over again. Maybe the new stuff could have elevated his game in the long run, but it's a contract year for him, and our s3ason is slipping away. Why go through the learning curve now?

I can't stand Rob Ray's doofus color commentary.

I'd like to hear more Biron. He's great.

Makes sense. Haven't bought pads since so don't know any of the new "tech" so to speak, but have heard the love it or hate it argument about Brians in general.

Exactly. I'd imagine he played with them over the summer to break them in or at least I hope so. It takes a while with pads even if you're playing every day...but yeah, contract year probably wasn't the best time to experiment.

Goalie pad technology has come a very long way in the last decade.

It's insane how light these pads are becoming.

Every major company's pro line has their pads weighing in under 3 pounds now.

It's insane.

The new CCM Premiers that are coming out next year are crazy. My rep brought them in the rink last month and my god no wonder goalies are having a hard time adjusting. They're so light that with the strength and push off these goalies are used to having to do there's going to be a huge adjustment.

It's why I think Hank is struggling this year.

Father time and pad size restrictions haven't helped either
